Hello Zonder. you said..." This is simple manners and courtesy. It has nothing to do with non-Muslims following Ramadan rules. You just don't eat in front of them and make them smell the pizza you are gulping down. You eat at home. I don't see anything wrong with that. "

I didn't say there was anything wrong with that and as a courtesy I to have refrained from eating if front of people who for instance may be on a diet. What was different from this being a common courtesy was this statement in the article.>>
........" anyone who fails to abide by the regulations of this country will be penalized. These penalties may include termination of service and deportation “, it added. "......

This article came from a Saudi Arabia web site it did not come from a someone critical of Saudi Arabia. What the article meant to me was that when in Saudi Arabia you will follow their religious laws or face penalties. That is not the case in the west..well except for things like the lords prayer in schools and other places and I think that is a thing of the past over here.
